This large-scale accumulation was detected through increased outflows from exchanges and a drop in the amount of BTC held on trading platforms.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading close to $56,000, having seen a 10% rise in the last 24 hours. Despite this price increase, trading volume has decreased by 30%, indicating lower activity from traders.
